(Archived) Suggestion: Voice to Text transcription using Google

[tcalbaz 3]

Hello,

I would like to suggest adding Voice to Text transcription to Evernote mobile using Google Api's with a date and time stamp for the created text file or optionally just keep one log file to record all transcriptions with date/time stamp option for each entry. Anyone doing research work or data collection could find such a capability immensely valuable.

Actual message:

Google's Voice to Text service has a long way to go before it is usable by most people.

I've had some success using the microphone button (which uses Google Voice) on the standard Android keyboard to perform voice input. It's good for simple one-line notes. It sometimes takes a couple tries to get it right but can be faster than typing.

What I do is use the voice input without immediate worry about how it comes out (using the microphone button on the keyboard), then go back later on my desktop and clean it up. I get the benefit of getting my note done when and where I happen to be, but still get clean information later.

Try FlexT9 from Nuance who also make Dragon Naturally Speaking. It sends speach to a server and returns text. Results were awful on my first try, however. I guess one has to practise.
